OK...
So, I rarely get the opportunity to chime in anymore. Why? you may ask.. because the moderators do a fantastic job of keeping these forums a place to post anything from questions by first time flytrap owners to people propagating exotic nepenthes.
These forums were intended as a resource for our customers and anyone on the internet that had a curiosity about carnivorous plants... not a friggin' play ground!
This is NOT romper room...
This is NOT day care...
This is NOT where you go to spend your time filling up MY hard drives with USELESS crap about adding words to a sentence, bumping topics, who's on top .. games... useless polls etc.
At some point, we as moderators and *I* as the owner of the board have to put forth some rules. The rules are basic... they are not even really rules! 1) Post with respect - 2) don't be a fool!
That's pretty much my rule book... and if you look at what the moderators have done .. they've deleted disrespectful posts (whether towards another member, towards my company, or my forums). And they sometimes (not often) delete the ignorant childish crap that wastes time and disk space.
If you want a forum to bounce up and down in like a 2 year old and be completely idiotic, start your own. This is not the place.
It is, however, a place for carnivorous plant discussions -- or sometimes just discussions about life, chatter about friendships, challenges we face as people, thoughs on the world... or whatever... but GROW UP!!!
My words to you Spec - JRpower - Sundood - John or WHATEVER you want to call yourself today: GO AWAY. I don't want you here. You are a rude disrespectful instigator. You were allowed to come back, much against my wishes, because we thought you had something positive to contribute. Well, it turns out that you're as lame as your childish posts.
I don't have time for you.
The moderators don't have time to watch for your next stupid move.
This board doesn't have the patience to deal with you any longer.
And I'll be darned if i allow one more KB of data on my server to go to your useless chatter.
So consider yourself gone.
Go to CPUK
Go to Gardenweb
Go to Omnisterra
Go wherever they won't ban you for life and ramble about useless crap!
Just Don't do it here!
Why this public flame?
Because I'm sick and TIRED of listening to you whine. Tired of you thinking people get favoritism or preferential treatment. It's because you are a blundering block head and EVERYONE - even the bacteria under my toenails would get preferential treatment over you.
Good bye John.
Find a new playground.
And - I'm not locking this topic... or deleting it... I'm simply removing you from our boards. If anyone else has an opinion, feel free to post. So far, they're valid for the most part and afterall, they are just opinions.
Peace!
